Maine counselor for practical emotional support
Start with Susan RyderLicensed · Professional · Cancel Anytime
Susan Ryder is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maine (ME LCPC CC2739) with 17 years of professional experience. She has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence concerns, depression, and the process of coping with life changes.
Susan approaches therapy from the view that each person is the expert of their own story and brings strengths that can be used to address difficult situations. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and offers encouraging, steady support to those who take that first step.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions - online therapy can be an effective option and has been shown to be comparable to traditional in-person sessions for these issues. It offers a practical way to access care without changing the core therapeutic work.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can choose the way they connect that fits their schedule and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to include therapy in a busy life.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and you have the option to switch providers if you feel a different match would be better. For many, online therapy provides a convenient, accessible path to addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
